Dawn on the Appalachian Trail, 1965. A backpacker ascends a mist-ringed mountain.

A down jacket and metal-frame pack keep the isolated explorer provisioned in the pre-cellphone wilderness. Back when camping meant leaving civilization far behind, brands like Eddie Bauer and Alpine Designs outfitted outdoorsmen to come back in one piece. So build on their hearty heritage, and gear up for a journey into the wild with this collection of vintage explorer goods.
